Essex Homes invites you to reach out and share your blessings by giving back to the local community in need this holiday season. Essex Homes is collecting non-perishable food donations at all Columbia- and Charlotte-area community sales centers and offices during the months of November and December. Columbia-area donations will benefit Harvest Hope Food Bank, while Charlotte donations will go to Second Harvest Food Bank.

All food donations must be non-perishable items which can include canned vegetables, canned meats, dry goods, peanut butter, beans and much more. Some of the most needed items at either bank aren’t even food – diapers and detergent can help make a difference, too! To see more of the most needed items at Harvest Hope, click here. If you don’t have time to get by one of our sales centers or offices this holiday season but would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so by visiting www.harvesthope.org/money or www.secondharvestmetrolina.org.

Locations for all of our communities are listed on our site here. We hope to make this holiday season special for those in need, and any donation big or small will make a huge difference in someone else’s life.

Help us help others in need this holiday season by giving back to our community. Our model homes and sales centers are open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m. Please join us in supplying meals for those families in need this holiday season. Visit www.EssexHomes.net or call 803-356-8301 in Columbia or 704-423-8988 in Charlotte for more information.
